Cenizas de Laberinto, Sauvignon Blanc

A lively and wild nose of mountain herbs, fresh lime peel, tart white peach, and mixed together with river gravel.

An explosion of citrus fruits, mountain herbs and white peach, highly reflective of the nose, but with a tongue-curling acidity and long, long finish.

More on the wine

Coming from a volcanic area and plantation, Laberinto offers distinctive wines that express their unique location in Colbun. This wine is made in stainless steel tanks, and the production is 6000 bottles.

More on the producer

Rafael Tirado is part of the best know winemaking twins in South America. His brother Enrique makes one of Chile’s most prized and expensive wines under Chile’s largest producer Concha y Toro, while Rafael has opted for the other end of the spectrum: boutique and under the radar, although just as complex. His vineyards are planted in a maze-like formation near Lago Colbun in Maule.
